Floyd — Our Gentle Giant Ready for His New Beginning
If ever there was a dog who deserved a soft landing, it’s Floyd. After everything he’s lived through, this big-hearted boy has met the world with nothing but kindness, bravery, and a quiet, hopeful love. Every day he’s been learning, blooming, and finding his feet — and now his fresh start finally feels close enough to touch.
Floyd is a big, dog-friendly lad with oceans of love to give. This gentle giant is bursting with personality and charm, and is desperately searching for a human who will treasure him for life.

Personality & Quirks
Floyd is a big, soft soul wrapped in an even bigger body. He LOVES his walks — truly, his tail becomes a helicopter — but don’t expect a marathon partner. Once he’s decided he’s done, he will plop down dramatically and declare the world his rest spot.
He thrives around his humans, soaking up cuddles and scratches like they’re sunshine. But he’s also perfectly fine being left home alone:
No destruction
No escaping
No barking or whining
No fence jumping
No drama — just naps and dreams
He’s learning quickly, especially with the magic combo of praise and affection. He already knows sit, stay, and back — and he melts every time he hears “good boy.”
Important Notes
Floyd does resource guard high-value food items — understandable given his past. For example, he once found a piece of chicken in the outside bin, knocked it over, and growled when someone walked past. With management (like moving bins out of reach), he does beautifully.
With dogs, he’s social and friendly, but he doesn’t understand boundaries or cues. He barrels in wanting to play and doesn’t always listen when another dog says “enough!” A tolerant, sturdy doggy companion would be ideal.
His Ideal Home
Floyd dreams of a place where he can sprawl on the floor beside you, snore softly, and feel like he finally belongs.
He’d suit:
A home with confident, experienced humans
Teens or adults only
Either as an only dog, or paired with a patient, tolerant doggy friend
Someone who enjoys gentle walks, easy days, and a whole lot of cuddles
Versatile and people-loving, Floyd is equally happy lounging the day away or tagging along on your adventures with more practice and training.
What He Loves Most
Cuddles & scratches
Snoozing at your feet
Being told he’s a “good boy”
Short walks with big enthusiasm
Simply being close to his humans
Floyd has carried a heavy past, but his future is wide open — bright, hopeful, and waiting for the right person to step in and love him the way he’s always deserved.
If you think that person might be you… we’d love to hear from you.
